The Rationale of Prayer in Islam

Prayer (Salat) is the central pillar of Islam and an essential act of worship that every Muslim must perform. It is not only a duty but a profound means of connecting with Allah, and it must be performed in accordance with the teachings and example of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Many people wonder why prayer is obligatory and what wisdom lies behind it.

In this insightful book, Dr. Norlain Dindang Mababaya explains the rationale and necessity of prayer, emphasizing the importance of performing it properly, humbly, and sincerely according to the Sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH) at the prescribed times. The author clarifies that prayers offered in any way other than the Prophet’s pattern are not accepted by Allah Almighty, and stresses the obligation to follow the Prophet’s guidelines.

Drawing on clear proofs from the Qur’an and authentic Ahadith, Dr. Mababaya provides readers with a deeper understanding of the logic and spiritual benefits of Salat. This book is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to perfect their prayer and adhere to the true teachings of Islam.
